So the Constitution should live and breath with the times?

Okay, I think Journalists have WAY TOO MUCH freedom when it comes to printing stupid articles like this one. I say we ban the publications of stuff like this.

Freedom of the Press is an ancient idea 200 years dead anyway....

The first amendment freedom of the press was written in a time when newpapers were printed one sheet at a time, not on huge superfast "assault" presses. And it applied only to printing presses - not to anything associated with Ben Franklin's lightning like radio, television or the internet. < /sarcasm of mass destruction>

I have never had a substantive reply, when arguing with a anti-gun nut, when I say that journalists should have to license their keyboards and typewriters, no one could have forseen the invention of these dangerous devices. They should only be allowed to write by longhand, or use an old style printing press.....unless of course they want to be severely regulated.

Yeah! Let's require them all to be registered with the local law enforcement agency!
